Summer Debate Institute

FREE OPEN REGISTRATION FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN DUVAL COUNTY.

We invite the general public to participate in the Summer Debate Institute, three weeks of intense debate instruction.

Students can sign up for one-on-one and collaborative debate instruction to learn various art forms of rhetoric and argumentation, such as theory lectures, lab work, and community debate forums, the Duval UDL will places special emphasis on digital literacy, civic engagement, and service learning. Debate participants will have a wonderful opportunity to learn from many of the top debate coaches from across the country and to develop a personal debate portfolio to enhance their college and career opportunities.

The staff of the debate leadership institute possess highly diverse skill sets. Dynamic educators in English, Language Arts, and History will join us to offer a variety of perspectives on debate. More important, staff for the institute are selected with particular attention to their instructional abilities in addition to highly competitive debate accomplishments. Students from previous years will collaborate with each other and their lab leaders.
